SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at remote locations, relays the data to a central computer, and displays it for system operators.  SCADA can automatically take action based on the data. For instance, to maintain water level in a storage tank, SCADA can control pumps and valves, generate alarms, and notify operators as needed.  Operators can intervene in response to system conditions, either from the central SCADA computer or from remote devices.  In addition, SCADA can archive data for future review and research. It can graphically present current or historical data trends, and produce reports either automatically or on-demand.

A Timber Line SCADA system is a monitor and control system. We build our SCADA systems to meet the individual needs of each customer. Our customers, primarily water and wastewater districts, use their custom designed SCADA systems to monitor and control such functions as plant control, running pumps to fill tanks, controlling VFDs for pressure and flow control, monitoring well levels and flow rates, chemical feed controls and monitoring alarms. The possibilities are endless.
